I shot with it several times yesterday just to center my POA and no contact with my hand. I really like it. As you can see I mounted it plenty forward and it is easy to look thru with both eyes open and that little red dot makes it so simple. Just make sure that you have the little red dot in the center of the glass and on the target. The saddle mount is a see thru so if something were to fail with the scope I can see my bead and do it the old fashion way. I hope to pattern it today with some turkey load @ 40yds.
